Ultimately the biggest winners are also Glickenhaus and Vanwall. It is Glickenhaus that has been most vocal (despite the rules saying they couldn’t be) - did they win?
Porsche, the most successful manufacturer going into year 100, gets a big bump too. Almost as good as the others, but they are closer already. Subtle to hide the real intent?

I can’t work out what the narrative is with why this is corrupt. Other than we could have a narrative whatever the change was.
It isn't corruption, I'm not making that allegation. The ACO have a history of wanting to keep manufacturers on-side (and therefore on board). This BoP adjustment helps everyone apart from Toyota. The only criticism from my view is that they've gone back on their word, even if it was inevitable.
